The camera on my laptop, model MT616 does not work anymore. If I click on the camera button it does nothing.
It was purchased 12/11/2007 so I hope it's under warranty. Connie Wheelock

Thanks!

Get ahold of Gateway **NOW**, in case your warranty is about to run out.http://www.gateway.com/about/legal/warranty.php?cm_ven=eSupport&cm_cat=CservFAQ&cm_pla=&cm_ite=WarrantyInfo

They may be able to help you. Live support online has been rather helpful for me, and the wait times haven't been too bad. If that doesn't get you anywhere ...

I can't find your laptop in Gateway's database. Try poking around here, either with your serial number (this page) or by clicking the "Browse all downloads" tab and typing in your model number, which may be missing a number.http://support.gateway.com/support/drivers/dlcenter.aspIf you're browsing, hit "Display results" at the bottom before you enter anything in for question 4.

There should be some Webcam software, including a newer version of the drivers and a firmware update- - which will actually make the camera itself work differently.

Also look to see if there's any software from Gateway itself. Sometimes manufacturers build their own software to set up one button to enter a power management screen, one button to enter a setup screen, one button to open e-mail, etc. There may be similar controlling software for your camera.

if you are trying to hook the laptop to the proyector, did you try right clicking on the desktop to view the properties of the screen?you have to right click at the desktop, then go to properties, then go to the tab of configuration then click on the second screen that will apear, and when it greys out, you there is an option you have to click below that says "extend windows desktop to this monitor", of course, the proyector has to be already conected, when you already clicked that, touch the sync button of the proyuector and it should be working.. otherwise, at the windows of configuraton you have to click on advanced (wich is a button almost at the bottom of the window) and then a window will emerge and (on my version) there is a tab that its called like my video card of the laptop (in your laptop it should be called like your video card), and there must be an option (after you plugged the proyector) of sending the signal like something specific, like a signal for tv, or proyector,or monitor.. .i think it varies depending on the model of the video card.well.. i think thats all about it.. wish you good luck in your lecture..also.. check the cables!.. if they are old they could be broken at the begening of the conection...

As for why they are recognized on your friend's laptop but not yours, it's going to depend on what operating systems both are running and what the brand/models of the camera and scanner are. If there are drivers required to run the camera and scanner, try uninstalling and reinstalling them.
